They put the trach in and within an hour started talking about moving him to an acute care facility. They do have one at the hospital, so that might work out okay. Karen says he is improving. Opened his eyes and was excited to see Tris; tried to smile, but is very weak and still on some morphine. The fever is still around 100 degrees with tylenol. If he goes to acute care it would likely be for at least 25 days. Karen thinks once they get him off the meds and stuff he will improve more rapidly with breathing and all. At the acute care place they would be able to bring him back up whilst keeping an eye on all of his various "problems."

I am not going to call as often, now. If anything changes, they will call us and I will still keep in touch every few days.

KT, I told her about your dream. Thanks:-)
